[nagdu] GEB application process

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello.
When I applied to GEB in August, I don't believe any of my references were contacted. I had my home interview in November, and was accepted a few weeks laster.
I was supposed to go into the July class, but am now going in the september class because of two college students who had been accepted.

God bless. :)
